[AT] Hole in exhaust manifold....

[John Kennedy]

Exhaust manifolds can get hot enough to burn though cast iron why would 
anyone want to use something that can't stand heat above a few hundred 
degrees. I have personally seem some of mine red hot when run hard that is 
over 2000 degrees.  Like I said before either braise it or replace it. Man 
30 bucks for a new one why spend all that time playing around with junk that 
isn't going to work. Or will only be a mess that you will have to clean off 
when you decide to do it correctly. I will never understand all these short 
cuts to repairing something that only lead to more work in the future. Do it 
right in the first place and then forget it and go onto some other repair 
you will be a lot happier and your tractor will be the better for it.
